With the announcement of the new Gran Turismo Sport at Paris Games Week, developers took the opportunity to choose a new vehicle to include in the game’s roster. Ultimately, the 1973 Datsun ‘Fugu Z’ was picked from the winners of the 13th Annual Gran Turismo Awards, hosted by the 2015 SEMA Show.

Gran Turismo: Sung Kang’s ‘Fugu Z’ Takes Awards at the SEMA Show and Gets Added to the Gran Turismo Game Series

The 1973 Datsun ‘Fugu Z’ is owned by Sung Kang, of the Fast and Furious film franchise, and it was built in collaboration with Greddy Racing and other partners. The car was transplanted with a NA RB26DE and a Pademo kit by TRA Kyoto, and what started as a hobby to kill time ended up being a great SEMA build.

Thanks to this announcement and Greddy’s track record at the SEMA Show, the Gran Turismo game franchise has decided to include Kang’s Fugu Z as a playable vehicle on the PS4 game once it’s released. Though reception has been mixed for the game so far, this is sure to make for a positive addition that will hype fans up considerably for the release of the game. Gran Turismo creator and series producer Kazunori Yamauchi confirmed the addition, adding that it was only fitting that the winner of Best in Show for the Gran Turismo Awards be a part of the car roster for the new installment of the game.

New Mazda MX-5 Spinoff Models Go Minimalist - http://clapway.com/2015/11/05/new-mazda-mx-5-spinoff-models-go-minimalist123/

Mazda releases two concepts for new models at the 2015 SEMA Show that pose a minimalist approach, and it’s sure to make them stand out. Both concepts are based on the 2016 MC-5, though slimmed down for added fun. Both were built in the US, product of collaborations with several aftermarket suppliers, and they’re set to prove the uniqueness that Mazda can bring to the table.

The first model is the silver Mazda Spyder, which comes with carbon-fibre body kit and grille. It has adjustable coilovers, four piston Brembo froont brak callipers on ventilated disks, and 225/45 Yokohama Advan AO48 rubber on 17 inch custom Advan Racing RS II alloys with 42mm offset. The folding roof has been swapped out for a lightweight bikini one, making it slightly lighter than the MX-5.

The Mazda Speedster comes in blue, and it really milks the minimalist concept. There’s no roof or windshield, just a deflector cowl. The doors are carbon dibre as well, and it has specially designed seats trimmed in black alcantara. This model is 118kg lighter than the standard Mazda MX5.

With both of these cars, Mazda is sure to at least leave a formidable mark on the car show, and with the amount of attention they’re garnering, the carmaker is only proving that sometimes the bare minimum is all people want.
